Roll out on a well floured surface to 3mm thickness. Cut into rounds and place on non stick or baking papered tray.
Bake for 10 minutes or until light brown and cool on a wire rack.

icing,
Make white icing and ice half the top of each biscuit. Then add the cocoa or pink food colouring to the remaining icing mixture and cover the other half of the biscuits.
